{ sewing classes }

I've started taking sewing classes from one of my Mom's dear friends, Chris Benavides. She is an amazing seamstress and is teaching us how to make some really fun projects! The classes started this month and meet every Thursday, so it's fun to have this fun class to look forward to every week.

The first class taught us how to make "taggie" blankets and toys. We had the option of making a triangle toy and a circle toy, but I loved the triangle so much that I made two of those instead! They turned out so cute and weren't hard to make either! The great thing about the classes Chris teaches is that she provides all the supplies except for your sewing machine, scissors and thread. You then come home with your finished product, the instructions and patterns too! It's an amazing deal for just $25.00 a class! If anyone is interested in the classes, contact me and I'll get you the info!

I'm so very excited about this, as I'm sure you can tell! I just love to create and more importantly to finish a project! Sometimes I get carried away trying to make things perfect that I don't finish it as quickly as I should, so it's good to come home with a complete product! Here are my finished creations...
